Don't hesitate to book with Ongeri Expeditions.
We had the most wonderful time in Kenya, thanks to the reliability and exceptional service of Ongeri Expeditions. Our safari in the Masai Mara, followed by a relaxing beach vacation in Watamu, was truly unforgettable.
Everything was top-notch — from the accommodations and seamless meet-and-greet to the smooth transfers and excellent food. Every detail was thoughtfully arranged, making the entire experience effortless and enjoyable.
Cazeah was incredibly responsive to all of our questions and made us feel genuinely well taken care of. She was always available, not only during the planning stages but throughout our entire journey.
It was truly a fantastic trip, and we would not hesitate to use their services again.

Amazing experience in Africa
Our recent trip to Africa was absolutely outstanding, from start to finish. The hotel pickups and airport transfers were smooth, and every member of staff we encountered was incredibly helpful. Shearwater was a gorgeous place to stay, with thoughtful touches like lovely gifts in our room and delicious food throughout our visit. The attention to detail and hospitality made us feel very welcome and well looked after.
The tours and experiences exceeded all expectations. The Cape Town tours, Victoria Falls and rainforest tour were spectacular, thanks to our brilliant and knowledgeable guides who made the days truly unforgettable. At Bomani, we were treated to amazing tented lodges, fantastic food (including a special anniversary cake), and incredible wildlife drives where we saw elephants, giraffes, rhinos, hippos, lions, zebras, and more. Walking with rhinos and exploring the local village were definite highlights, and the team went above and beyond to accommodate our family’s needs.
I’ll admit, I was initially a bit wary about paying in advance and not being 100% certain everything was above board, even after doing my own research. However, everything worked out perfectly and was handled with complete professionalism and transparency. I am delighted to say the whole experience was seamless, trustworthy, and far surpassed my expectations—highly recommended for anyone considering a similar adventure!

SET did an excellent job of organizing a trip catered to what I was looking for, plus they added a few of their suggestions. I can't say enough good things about my guide, Philimon. At every moment, he was on top of what we were doing and had everything in order. He was extremely knowledgeable about culture, history, animals, and geology, and he spoke perfect English. I strongly recommend SimienEcoTours!

Kenya safari is everything and more!
We just completed our 6 day Kenyan safari and had the most amazing experience with Afrikan Accent Adventures! If you are looking for professionalism and passion at a good value, this is the company to use!
Touring the country of Kenya was unique. The people, food, culture and wildlife was fantastic! The tourist industry here is very welcoming and since English is the main tourist spoken language, it made it very easy to communicate. Lodging quarters and staff are top notch and so friendly and kind! We always felt safe.
Before we did our safari, we thought it would be a one off bucket list trip, but after this experience, there is no doubt we will return!!! Do not hesitate to book your safari with Afrikan Accent Adventures, you will be in the best of hands and will experience a wonderful safari! Kenya safari is everything and more,

Wonderful
We had an amazing Safari! Our guide Christian was awesome, and we really enjoyed our time with him. He is funny, friendly, and has an amazing ability to spot animals. On our four day safari we saw all of the big five thanks to Christian! We definitely recommend Safari Soles, and we especially recommend Christian as the best guide we could have asked for!

Great value for money tour.
After searching for tours on the internet, I booked a 4 day tour witch Davs Safari from the UK before coming to Uganda. Communicating by whatsap and email. I was met by my Guide (Julias) in Jinja and set off on a 4 day tour. Due to my location the transfer on the 1st day was very long, this wasn’t a problem as I was able to take in so much of the local community and experience real local life. Julia’s pointed out a fare bit of knowledgeable attractions and assisted with any of my requests. Be prepared for a bumpy ride at times (Ugandan massage) id suggest that older or more disabled travellers request comfortable transport whilst booking your trip as some roads are not as smooth as others, don’t feel intimidated not to ask the guide to slow down or speed up. Meal plans throughout were catered for and were of good standard and variety, all I had to pay for were my drinks, after reading the contract back I should have only had to pay for alcoholic drinks so make sure you confirm this from the start. I was impressed by all the lodges booked bar one which didn’t seem to have a lot on the menu for breakfast and dinner. All staff were friendly and helpful no matter where I went, there’s a lot of security around so safety wasn’t an issue. Be sure to understand the currency and best to use local shillings UGX or Visa pay (we know it as contactless or card payment) I wasn’t hassled to tip staff at locations, I used discretion and gave as necessary which was really appreciated by the staff. Pack light get all the equipment you need for hiking and get yourself fit for an enjoyable experience. Even those with disabilities can hike on certain tours as the local staff will arrange for assistance at a cost. The tours were impressive and I got what I paid for, my only disappointment was that I didn’t get to see a full grown silver back Gorilla like I wanted too, however I didn’t get to see and get close to a family of Gorillas and take some memorable photos. If at all your itinerary has to change in any way discuss this with your guide and then his/hers supervisor, something is always workable. I must again say that my guide was superb all the way, honest reliable and willing to address any issue. The tour itself was good value for money and definitely worth the money I spent.

Good itinerary with competitive price and awesome guide. Terrible vehicle
Fredy was very helpful in putting together a good itinerary with requested hotels . Price was competitive and cheaper by a couple of hundred dollars . We stayed at the Elewana in Serengeti , Niyakani migration camp Ndutu and Melia in Ngorongo. Fredy however left and our trip was assigned to someone else who was not as responsive . Did not send flight tickets until requested on morning of transfer. Did not know that return transfer to airport was included until I sent a screen shot of the itinerary . Did honor it though
We had an amazing guide Festo who knew his way around the Serengeti and was great at spotting animals. 5 stars for a great guide
However vehicle was terrible. WiFi did not work. AC did not work which made for a terrible 2 days in the Ngorongo conservation area. Seats were shabby and the ride was uncomfortable. I discussed with other travelers in the lodges and looked at other companies vehicles which were in much better shape. In retrospect would have paid more for a comfortable ride . 2 out of 4 binoculars did not work and had broken lenses and the binoculars were dirty
Would recommend booking with them if they can promise a better vehicle. I am glad we did a fly in and drive back safari otherwise would have been terrible or maybe if we had started in this vehicle in Arusha we would have insisted on a change. We landed on Seronera and discovered this vehicle

Our Kenyan safari was absolutely amazing thanks to Hyrax Safaris!
My husband and I enjoyed our first-ever African safari recently and had an incredible time. Hyrax Safaris planned such a perfect itinerary and we were able to see a variety of interesting places throughout Kenya. Our tour guide Sammy was fantastic, and on the game drives he expertly explained a lot about the various animals we were seeing. We loved seeing elephants crossing a river, a pride of lions resting in the shade, very rare white and black rhinos walking across a field, hippos floating in a river, giraffes grazing in tall trees, zebras crossing our path and much, much more! We not only saw animals from the safari vehicle, we also took a boat ride, biked and hiked at Hell’s Gate national park and saw where both “Out of Africa” and parts of the “Lion King” were filmed. The tour included opportunities for shopping from local craftspeople and we really enjoyed getting unique souvenirs to take home. Since the items do not have prices, we learned that the locals expected us to negotiate which was difficult at first because we were not used to shopping this way in the US. However, by the end of our stay we were more comfortable with the process.
The amount of things we saw and did was just incredible and we were so impressed with both our guide Sammy and Hyrax Safaris for planning such an enriching tour. We hope to return someday and if we do, we will definitely call Hyrax Safaris to plan our next adventure!

An incredibly skilled driver. With over 20 years of experience, his driving and guide is excellent.
My guide Robby is an incredibly skilled driver. The second he hears something interesting over the radio, he’s there right away. He’s a perfectionist—he wanted to make sure you don’t miss anything.
With over 20 years of experience, his driving is so good he can get the vehicle right up close to the animals for photos, and he’ll find several angles to take pictures for you. Along the way, he introduced a lot in detail, such as
Maasai people and animals live in the conservations, but the national parks are completely uninhabited; the differences between cheetahs and leopards—their patterns, weight, behavior and so on. And he checked the vehicle condition constantly and assisted other drivers in our way.
Overall, he is excellent.
